Today's Ride
So, today it didn't rain or snow. It wasn't very warm, but I decided to go for a ride this afternoon.
My ride went something like this:
Marshdale > Evergreen > Upper Bear Creek > Witter Gulch > Squaw Pass > Little Bear Creek Road > Idaho Springs > Eisenhower Tunnel > Boreas Pass Road (Breckenridge) > Hoosier Pass > Fairplay > Red Hill Pass > Jefferson > Kenosha Pass > Grant > Bailey > Conifer > North Turkey Creek > Home.
So, the passes I crossed today are:
Squaw Pass - 9,790 ft
Eisenhower Tunnel (Continental Divide) - 11,013 ft
Hoosier Pass (Continental Divide) - 11,542 ft
Red Hill Pass - 9,993 ft
Kenosha Pass - 9,997 ft
So, according to this, I rode about 160 miles today in about 4 hours. I got started kind of late, and it was freezing cold when I got home. Sun set today at about 8:00 p.m. I was OK temperature wise, as it was about 60F at some point, but when I got to Hoosier Pass it was about 44F, I thought I was going to lose my hands. Even with my gloves on.
Tomorrow looks to be clear, sunny, and much warmer (63F).
